Kane Brewing (2020)

I did the same with the two Driftwood bottles. Looks like they sold out of the Cognac Vanilla SB, it's now the Cognac SB.

 

I love Port Omna its perfect. Generally the punch beers were more late spring early summer beers, would be interesting if they did plan them in the brew calendar if they have less availability to get the fruit they may need?

Yeah I know Glenn has said on here, there's not set brew dates for beers, outside of vengeful heart and port omna. OG Waimea Punch (w/ Aslin) was a March release, I don't recall if the second time was and the rest were more may or later I think. I'd kill for Mosaic Punch right now. Missed out on orders today b/c I was lazy. Going to try for some more party wave tomorrow

 

Yeah i recall that back in like 2018 i think? I know their production has really ramped up - i mean 1K batches of Head High in less than 2 years. I would just love to see how far out they have everything planned to accommodate demand and fermenter space - like They probably already know when they're going to brew and release Morning Bell in 2021.

 

ugh now I wish I didnt drink my last morning bell bottle last week haha

 

i've been savoring them.. think i got 4 left.

I seriously thought about grabbing a keg of Morning Bell when i saw that they were like $150 - but my kegerator is set up for corny kegs and not sanke

 

only 2 MB left here... hope next time i food shop at wegmanns they have some hanging around

 

I cracked open one of my last cans of Imperial Sneakbox today....this beer is falling like a lead balloon; drink ‘em now if you got ‘em.

 

overhead is my pleasant surprise from my order the other week.... maybe it's been awhile but that one feels more NE then it used to... head high on the other hand felt more west coast... which kind of shifted from my memory...sneakbox is tasting great, indicators was nice. Coastal plane is super solid.. been spoiled by HF Mary and Marie on that kind of style front but guess it'll be awhile before getting anymore HF... grabbed a few cloud cover too in case the wife would like them.. turns out she didn't but no biggie only a few cans left

only thing about covid i'm excited about is more kane showing up to my doorstep, thank you Kane!

 

I had the same reaction to Overhead. I’ve had it many times but it definitely stole the thunder from the “special” release IPAs this time.

 

Yea I told my brother the other day overhead had got the juice treatment. Not sure when since it had been a long time but now I’m more certain seeing the above comments.

 

Haven't had this new batch but I hope they didn't mess with it. Maybe just hop batch variation? Or you think it something else? OH is my favorite double of all time. Whenever I drop 18 or 20 on a special release by them I am not necessarily disappointed, but I usually feel like I should have just bought more overhead instead

 

I had a SBX last night and it seemed fine. I placed an order this AM, guess I should have waited. Got a the BA Cognac Sunday Brunch to meet the minimum and now the Bourbon one is up there, would have preferred that one. Oh well, can't complain!

 

I agree on Overhead kind of flying under the radar. Last time I had it in a can, probably back in December, it was much better than I remember it being. I wish I added a 4 to my Kane delivery thinking about it now. Next time!

 

I actually liked BA Cognac the best out of the three. The vanilla cognac one was a tad too sweet for me, but the cognac barrel alone was perfect. Bourbon was my least favorite.

 

Good to know! I know that a few people said Vanilla Cognac and reg Cognac were very similar and I tried the Vanilla Cognac on tap at the brewery. But this excites me for the bottle! Will report back once I crack it open!

 

I guess it’s all personal preference, but I remember it being much better when I had it last week. It seems to be getting pretty sweet for tastes....maybe a bad can? I have one left, I guess we’ll see. DDH Party Wave was still as great as ever though.

 

i think they just made it more NE... again it had been a long time since i had it last but a friend had told me that it was different and he liked it more as it was more NE in nature so i got 3 4pks in my order and he wasn't wrong.. i prefer it more now then i did prior for sure

 

Yeah the normal Party Wave right when the state started to shut down was amazing. Got 2 4-packs today hoping its just as good!

 

kane updated their delivery page.. check it out. well done.. guess they realize they are in it for the long haul.. probably be a long time before taprooms open back up

very well done page IMO. I am very curious how kane and all of these breweries are going to start handling their bigger bottle releases. Magnify seems to be doing a good job so far.
